so the story….. where I used to work they would have a taken name get them a gift under an $ amount thing. The last year I worked there we had a lot of employees and “they(s)” decided to make it optional, I opted out for $ reasons. however after Christmas one of the girls gave me a “do you want this it was extra and I don’t know who to give it to” conversation ( was it originally meant for me? she was kind of pushing me to do the gift exchange. ). it was a bit awkward because they were Christmas pajamas with a little Christmas tree pattern on them and the shirt is green and white. she at the time had a boyfriend/fiancé. and I still to this day think that they are women’s pajamas and yet I’m still not completely sure. there you have it the full story including the fact that I still wear them because they fit quite nicely (oops).
